Uniform

When children start in the autumn term they may come to school in either Summer/Winter uniform. Parents will be informed via the newsletter, of the date when all children will be expected to be in winter uniform. A date will also be put in the schools newsletter when the children will be expected to be in summer uniform.

Children may also have a School sweatshirt and a pair of plain navy/black/dark green jogging pants to wear for outdoor sports during the winter.

Children should wear a waterproof ‘school-type’ coat. The coat should ideally have a hood.

Hooded tops and denim coats are not permitted at any time of the year.

Trainers – There has been a dispensation allowing children to bring trainers to play football in during playtimes, so as to protect their shoes. This will continue at the discretion of the Head teacher.

Hair

All pupils with hair below the collar must wear their hair tied back with hair accessories in the school colours of red and green. Parents need to be mindful that these accessories should be tidy and that they should not be more than are necessary to keep the child’s hair tied back as they could cause a health and safety risk to themselves and other children.

Hair can be cut short, but not shaved or have designs cut into the hair.

Gel should not be applied to any child’s hair for school.

Jewellery

Earring, studs and other jewellery other than a simple watch are not permitted in school under any circumstances.

Children are expected to conform to the school rules on the wearing of correct uniform. This includes the wearing of certain types of shoes or boots. Trainers are not allowed except for changing into during the lunch break for playing games out of doors.

All items in school must be labelled clearly.

Uniform lists may be obtained from the School Office or website, also the name of the supplier.

The Friends of St Lawrence holds a sale of second-hand uniform from time to time.

A school bag/Book bag for the carrying of homework and books may be purchased through the School Office/supplier.
